Fetch 3 Last video from youtube channel - php

Question

Using Youtube API, I've created class for my needs. (It works with Zend FW)
class youtube extends html {
var $yt, $user;
public function __construct($user) {
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_YouTube');
$this->yt = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube();
$this->yt->setMajorProtocolVersion(2);
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_AuthSub');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
$this->yt->getHttpClient()->setConfig(array('timeout' => 180));
$this->user = $user;
}
}
The problem is, when I use
$this->yt->getuserUploads($this->user)
on other class methods, it gets ALL videos. I want to get 3 last videos of $user. How to do this?

Answer 1

I'm really short on time at the moment otherwise I'd have a go using your code. This might help if you can't work it out or if no one comes back with an answer using your code.
I put together a quick and dirty solution as an answer for someone who wanted to show the thumbnail corresponding to the latest video uploaded to Youtube by a specific user - I coded a simple controller action and view that would display a video thumbnail which was a link to the video itself.
The example can easily be tweaked to show a particular number of videos by changing the
if($i==1) break;
line however there are probably more elegant ways of doing it than the way I did - as I say it was quick and dirty to answer a question.
I used the Zend_Feed_Reader class instead of the Zend_Gdata_YouTube class. In the short term it might help.
Good luck, let me know if this helped.
All the best, Dave :-D

Answer 2

Take a look at:
$query = $yt->newVideoQuery();
$query->maxResults = 3;
$query->orderBy = 'published';
$query->author = 'ThisIsHorosho';
$query->startIndex = 1;
$videoFeed = $yt->getUserUploads(null,$query);
foreach($videoFeed as $videoEntry)
{
echo $videoEntry->getVideoWatchPageUrl() . PHP_EOL;
}
